We have been learning about odd and even numbers. Odd and even numbers do not end the same. Odd numbers end with 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. Even numbers end with 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8. We learned a song to teach us about odd and even numbers. The song is called Odd Todd and Even Steven.
Here is the beginning of the song that we learned!
Do you know of any fun math songs to sing?
Yesterday we reviewed about what good commenters do on a blog. We learned about the 3 C’s and Q. First you need to compliment the author. Then you need to comment on something that you have explored. After you need to connect with something that the author has written. Finally you need to ask the author a great question.
We also talked about what good bloggers do! When a person writes a post they need to remember not to put capitals in the middle of a word (Secret Agent #9). If you are stuck on a word sound it out (Secret Agent #6). You need to have punctuation at the end of a sentence (Secret Agent #18. You need spaces in between each word (Secret Agent #9). Put a capital at the start of a sentence and put a capital at the start of a name (Secret Agent #5).
What do you think good commenters and bloggers should do? We would love to hear from you!

In Health we have been learning about germs and how they spread. We have been reading books and watching videos about germs. Today we watched a video called Glo Germ. “In the video the girl and the boy were putting glow powder on their elbow and hand” (Secret Agent #12). “They had a glow light and saw if the powder spread” (Secret Agent #14). “They touched a bunch of things and the glow powder spread when they touched the stuff” (Secret Agent #1).
We have learned lots about germs! “Germs can spread fast” (Secret Agent #2). “When you sneeze or cough germs spread as fast as a car goes on the highway” (Secret Agent #5). “You need to cover your mouth with your elbow” (Secret Agent #10). “Less germs spread if you cough into your elbow” (Secret Agent #18). “You can only see them with a microscope because they are so tiny” (Secret Agent #1). “Germs spread everywhere” (Secret Agent #13). “Wash your hands with warm water and soap. Wash in between your fingers and finger nails” (Secret Agent #11). “You need to wash your hands before you eat lunch, supper, and breakfast” (Secret Agent#8). “Do not stick your hands in your nose or your mouth” (Secret Agent #5). “Make sure you dry your hands because germs like things that are wet” (Secret Agent #1).
What do you know about germs? We would love to hear from you!
Yesterday and today we made poppies to hang in the gym for our Remembrance Day Ceremony. Our school is going to have a Remembrance Day Ceremony on Monday. Today we watched two videos. We watched A Pittance of Time and Remembrance Day Song Soldiers Cry O’Canada. “We learned that soldiers risked their lives to save ours” (Secret Agent 18). “We need to be quiet during the ceremony to show our respect to the soldiers” (Secret Agent 2). “We learned we wear poppies beside on our heart” (Secret Agent 14).
Please take the time to remember on Remembrance Day!
